Oficio puro / Víctor Valera Mora

Pure Task

How does a woman who has just made love walk
What does a woman who has just made love think about
How does she see other people’s faces and how do they see her face
What is the color of the skin of a woman who has just made love
How does a woman who has just made love sit down
She’ll greet her friends
She’ll think it’s snowing in other countries
She’ll light and consume a cigarette
Naked in the bathroom she’ll turn
the cold water spigot or the hot water spigot
She’ll turn both of them at once
How will a woman who has just made love kneel
She’ll dream that happiness is a journey by boat
She’ll return to childhood or beyond childhood
She’ll cross rivers mountains plains domestic nights

She’ll sleep with the sun in her eyes
She’ll wake up sad happy dizzy
Beautiful body of a woman
that was neither docile nor friendly nor wise
